    Hi Guys


    Looking for a good laptop not too expensive unless it's needed.

    I am a developer on .net and node and typically have alot of processes going on concurrently.

    Looking for something which can handle 3 Displays (my current set up).

    Basically i have desktop at the moment now i am working on the go alot and remoting in a becoming a pain.

    I was thinking of a dell xps 13 - know these are not budget but really the laptop is just for work so ill go for budget but if i have to get premium due to reality i will.

    Any ideas

    Would you consider an XPS15? It's a powerhouse and it is also not particularly large. It's about the size of a 14" laptop given the screen is squeezed into the body. 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM and a core i7 would be hard to ignore. And a big plus over the XPS13, is that the SSD and RAM are all user upgradeable. Meaning you can get 32GB without having to spend a tonne with Dell.

    See if you can get a secondhand XPS18 AIO.

    I have one and it's a brilliant machine. Get the docking station and it's a fully functional desktop. Just make sure to get one with a big enough SSD in it.
